What students are saying about me

As aulas da Luciana são muito legais. Desfruto muito delas. Primeiro, são muito engraçadas. Segundo, as aulas são personalizadas. Isso é ótimo, porque Luciana escolhe atividades, leituras e vídeos de meu interesse. Assim, consegui melhorar minhas habilidades de escuta e escrita, já que escuto e escrevo sobre temas que são relevantes para meu trabalho e minha vida no Brasil. Além disso, nas aulas falo muito com Luciana sobre diversos materiais como vídeos, podcasts e artigos, ajudando-me a melhorar minhas habilidades de conversa em português.

Taking Portuguese classes with Luciana has been a great experience. I highly recommend her if you are serious about improving your skills. Luciana is friendly, patient and a good listener. Therefore, her classes are a safe space where you can make mistakes without feeling shy or embarrassed. When I started lessons with her, she was the only person I felt comfortable speaking with in Portuguese. With her help, I became much more comfortable, and now I am able to travel in Brazil independently without using English. I even receive compliments from native speakers. Muito Obrigado Luciana!

It’s always a pleasure to learn Portuguese with Professora Lu. Besides providing step by step solid foundation with textbook, she offers diversity information and insight in term of culture, music or politics etc. according to student’s interest. This makes language learning so fun to continue and really synchronize with the real life. She is easy to talk with and patient to answer to all kind of question. Also she provides good suggestion and help on language learning with good understanding on student’s needs and this make learning more efficient less painful. Always enjoy a lot at the class with her.

I find classes with Luciana to be student centered, highly personal, and comfortable. Her classes have given me an unimaginable amount of confidence when speaking with native Portuguese speakers. More importantly, I've learned so much about formal academic Portuguese and at the same time been exposed to the colloquial language used in ordinary life. My lessons with Luciana are indispensable!

As aulas com Luciana são um espaço seguro e amigável para aprender sobre a língua, a literatura e a realidade brasileira. A Luciana tem uma estrutura clara para todas as aulas, mas sempre posso propor temas e textos que me interessem.

I love my classes with Luciana. I have dramatically improved my Portugese while working with her and I value her organization and commitment to the classes. Luciana is flexible in terms of finding material to use that interests me, and she is full of resources and ideas. I highly recommend her as a teacher to anyone who is wanting to learn Portugese and/or fine -tune their skills.

Thanks to Luciana, I continue learning Portuguese wherever I am. I moved several times over the past two years, and I travel a lot for work. Despite these challenges, I continued my lessons thanks to the flexible online-learning method. The lessons are tailored to individual needs and learning speed. This is a big advantage for busy professionals. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to learn Portuguese!

私はルシアナ先生に出会ってから、ポルトガル語の学習を長く続けることが出来ています。授業中には文法の解説を行ってもらい、文法演習や発音の指導を受けています。仕事の都合で出張が多く中々語学学校には行かれないので、フレキシブルに時間を選べるオンライン学習を選びました。会社の休み時間など隙間時間を使って、勉強出来るので、忙しい社会人の方にもオススメです。個人指導なので、興味があるブラジルの文化や社会のことを聞くことが出来るのも魅了的です。

Luciana has been a tremendously helpful and effective instructor. My spoken Portuguese was almost non-existent when I started and in just a few months of lessons we've achieved quite a lot. Our lessons are always easygoing and fun. Evgeny Morozov, Belarus/Italy

Luciana is very helpful in my path to learning a second language. She easily adapted her lesson plans to my level. It is easy for me to schedule classes that fit into my variable schedule. I really enjoyed her book, “Quando o Passado Bate À Porta.” It was a real sense of accomplishment to be able to read and understand a book that is tailor made for those learning Portuguese.
